about

Rest In Peace Stéphane Charbonnier! Your courage inspires me! We need more like you, now more than ever!

lyrics

I would rather die standing than live on my knees
and show some backbone to religious disease
I would rather die standing than live on my knees

bombastic teachings of a stone age tribe
violent preachings of a hateful scribe
they have a hit list of journalists
women and teachers, their evil persists

I would rather die standing than live on my knees
and show some backbone to religious disease
I would rather die standing than live on my knees
you hypocrites and cowards can try to appease

they want our silence, they want us in fear
they want our submission to the myth they hold dear
their hateful God that they serve with their guns
their treatment of women as slaves to their sons

I would rather die standing than live on my knees
and show some backbone to religious disease
I would rather die standing than live on my knees
you hypocrites and cowards can try to appease

the slaughter of teachers by the Taliban
atrocities committed in the service of man
how can you call it a religion of peace?
their Jihad demands submission or death but

I would rather die standing than live on my knees
and show some backbone to religious disease
I would rather die standing than live on my knees
you hypocrites and cowards can do as you please
but I would rather die standing than live on my knees
